Laxalt says the Trump campaign hasn't observed signature verification on the 600,000 votes cast by mail this election
ACU President Matt Schalpp says its important that "what happened in Vegas, the entire world needs to understand."
Schlapp says the Trump campaign has 1000s of examples of "voter irregularity."
Says at least 2 dead people voted in Clark County, Rosemary Hardle and Fred Stokkes Jr.

Schlapp says that at least 9,000 people who left NV cast a ballot in NV. Campaign previously sent letter to DOJ w/ examples of around 3K examples of 'nonresidents' voting, but many of those were military or legal absentee
We're now hearing from Chris Prudhomme, who is introduced as a representative from NV GOP but was intro'd last week as a media member trying to observe ballot tabulation in Clark County. He was a plaintiff on unsuccessful federal lawsuit asking to block sig verification machine
Now taking questions - Laxalt asked why whistleblowers did not come forward earlier.
Laxalt says the whistleblower was afraid to come over, says campaign is "reviewing all legal options."

Laxalt is asked about NV's Republican SOS saying that they have not found any evidence of voter fraud - says SOS doesn't actively look for voter fraud & doesn't have "people to investigate the system."
(SOS has limited investigation team but works w/ state DPS on fraud claims)

Laxalt says it's "absurd" to ask if there are enough 'fraudulent' votes to overturn election results
Q: Do you have any evidence that sig verification machine isn't working?
Laxalt: Reiterates that Clark County reduced settings & automatically accepts % of mail ballots. Says reduced settings "cast doubt" on signature matches but
"I can't tell you if that's small or large"
